For the past half an hour or so, I sat in front of the MOE website, scrolling down schools one by one to get their telephone numbers. Armed with a telephone in my other hand, I was dialling all the numbers furiously.
Me: "Good Afternoon, I wonder if your school need any relief teachers at the moment?" 15 odd schools, same answer: "Sorry we do not need any at the moment." Me (trying to sound chirpy): "Oh! Thank You very much, byebye!"
At the very most, 6 schools took down my particulars. That will mean that I have joined the ranks of thousands of others in the waiting list.
I feel like a concubine waiting to be called by the Emperor now (watching HK drama, you see! haha...). Don't take it literally, I do not want to be a concubine in any form! Nevertheless, shall continue my quest tomorrow. urgh!
